Patch rdist6 to make buffer-allocation dynamic

Having a list (such as of FILES or HOSTS) exceed 3500 characters will trigger
an error with the current implementation. There is no justification for the
limit.

The attached patch changes gram.y to make yytext dynamic. I wish I could submit
it upstream, but there is no upstream -- the current release (6.1.5) was cut 15
years ago.

The attached patch can be simply dropped into the port's files/ subdirectory.
It may be useful to bump the port's PORTREVISION after that.
